Comment (by claudio.martinez):
"IIRC, CherryPy? defaults to *1* thread. I'd say that the test is bogus if
you didn't increase the server threads."
I thought it was 5 when I did the tests, because that was the point were,
as far as I can remember, the performance started dropping.
cherrypy.config.get('server.thread_pool') shows that it defaults to 10.
I didn't try tweaking Apache either (used apache for proxying, lighttpd
for wsgi). The test server had FC4 default configuration. I don't think it
was an Apache issue since I had the same results on testing against
CherryPy directly.
Setting up lighttpd + wsgi doesn't have to be hard, my lighttpd
configuration used for the tests was:
{{{
# default document-root
server.document-root = "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-
packages/yourproject.egg"
# TCP port
server.port = 443
# selecting modules
server.modules = ( "mod_access",
"mod_scgi",
"mod_accesslog",
"mod_rewrite",
"mod_staticfile" )
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/server.pem"
scgi.server = ( "/" =>
(( "host" => "127.0.0.1",
"port" => 4000,
"check-local" => "disable"
))
)
}}}
As it's seen from the config, I was serving static content from the wsgi
server and not directly from lighttpd, which would speed things up a
little.
Tests were run against a database intensive, ssl page.
When I have the chance (and the servers available) I'll run the tests
again.
